    Do I love this? No, but there's no arguing with the fact that it's an interesting look. And given how much time I put into it, it's a keeper.
    Overall, not an expensive finish either - just three can of spray paint (includes the clear coat) and some sandpaper. And wrinkled fingers from all the wet sanding.

      use angle grinder and wire cup to scraping the paint

      Love it. So you sort of invented Detroit Agate veneer!. I could see this being a very desirable effect on electric guitars

      Well, it simply looks awesome. If I had a place to work I'll try yellow and marine blue.

    That turned out great. I like that you included the trial and error learning process.

    More important than liking or disliking the final look is to appreciate the development of the technique. Very cool.

  • @FishersShop
    @FishersShop 5 років тому +1

    Well that's pretty darn cool! Great technique. Never seen that before.

  • @JamesBiggar

    I think it looks cool. The knife worked surprisingly well.

    • @JohnHeisz
      @JohnHeisz  5 років тому +12

      Good that the knife worked, or it would still be out in my shop half done :)
      Need to try this again with different colours and pattern.

  • @CornerfieldShop
    @CornerfieldShop 5 років тому +13

    Never considered doing something like this on purpose. I only ever had this happen when I sandrd through a layer of plywood. Really creative and a cool looking result! 👍

    • @UberAlphaSirus
      @UberAlphaSirus 5 років тому +1

      Its a feature!

    • @SenselessUsername
      @SenselessUsername 5 років тому +1

      I remember the boats of the Belgian state-sponsored sports camps (BLOSO then, for the Flemish half). Yearly they'd be taken out and painted in whatever bulk paint available --- often discarded/refused for some factory defect, or out-of-date, rarely confiscated. These were all 20+ years old, 420s, 470s, Caravelles and the odd Cigogne... Whenever you crashed into something, you'd see 10+ layers of paint exposed, all different. And they weren't sanded (quite) smooth before repainting, so even a normal sanding job instead of a crash would reveal a weird pattern I guess.

  • @robertsparkman8516
    @robertsparkman8516 5 років тому

    Amazing that it gives that effect by simply sanding/scraping. Thanks John.

  • @jasonsocquet8555

  • @rjsprojects
    @rjsprojects 5 років тому

    That turned out so much better than I expected when you first started talking about this. Really cool effect even if the color scheme doesn’t fit my house I would still keep this around as an awesome conversation piece.

  • @longshot789
    @longshot789 5 років тому +5

    Wild look. Don't love it. Don't hate it. Was glad I saw how you did it.

  • @RobertHorton1975
    @RobertHorton1975 5 років тому +1

    I like the result. And John's awesome because he suffered the experimentation process (all that ruined sandpaper) to figure out the best technique so that we don't have to. Excellent!

    Going to try my hand at this, maybe on furniture, a drawer front or something.

  • @clydedecker765
    @clydedecker765 5 років тому

    Interesting outcome. I would not have guessed that look would come from doing this but then I didn't think about the varying hardness in the wood you used. I like it.

  • @baconsoda
    @baconsoda 5 років тому +35

    I've never seen that before. I love the process but I am taking a while to warm to the result. It's something I would honestly compliment in your home but wouldn't do in my own if you know what I mean.

    • @JohnHeisz
      @JohnHeisz  5 років тому +5

      Oh, definitely, I know what you mean :)

    • @daifeichu

      This is fantastic! Where did you get the idea? It reminds me of some Japanese lacquer techniques. www.1stdibs.com/furniture/asian-art-furniture/lacquer/japanese-cased-lacquer-jubako-box-set-circa-1960/id-f_6118423/

  • @doubledog5894
    @doubledog5894 5 років тому

    I used a similar technique on a furniture project (end tables with alternating Gray & White paint on plywood). I like to put a clear coat in between each layer and then wax at the end (automotive Turtle Wax has a nice effect). Different woods will have a different look - difference in grain & texture. If you mask a stripe pattern in addition to the alternating colors and then ask a pal to take a look, you can instantly intoxicate your pal with no liquor or chemicals required! 😎👍

    Black with a dark gray would look good. For me, just less contrast would be an improvement. The technique is the thing here. Good stuff John.
